The weight marked on the gold bar is fifty taels. My goodness, how much is that worth!
He doesn't want to struggle anymore, he wants to lie down like a salted fish.
Su Shien didn't know why Yu Ge'er was so excited.
"The profit you make from writing pornographic books is no less than what I make from writing serious novels. Why are you so excited about five hundred taels?"
Han Zeyu's silly smile froze in an instant.
"What five hundred taels?"
Su Shien was also confused. Fifty taels of gold could be converted into five hundred taels of silver. Didn’t he know?
He really doesn't know!
Han Zeyu's expression said it all; he really didn't know the conversion ratio.
He only knew that one tael of silver was worth a thousand copper coins, and the key point was that he had never come into contact with gold before and after he traveled through time.
One ounce of gold for ten ounces of silver—what kind of joke is this? Gold is so valuable! How could it be so devalued?
Su Shien patiently explained the conversion units to him, and Han Zeyu slowly understood it, but he gradually lost his luster.
Money, his money~how could this happen?
Han Zeyu pouted, feeling so wronged and wanting to cry.
It’s over, it’s over. Su Shien also saw that Yu Ge’er was really sad, and this time he was definitely not pretending.
"Let's go, let's not stay in this broken place anymore, let's leave this sad place as soon as possible."
"Wuwuwu, my husband, my money~"
"Brother Yu, be good, don't cry. Think about it! That money was left for our mother. Now that she is gone, it should be divided equally between me and my elder sister. Someone has shared half of the loss for you. Think about it, don't you feel better?"
Han Zeyu looked at Su Shien with tears in his eyes and said in shock, "What? You still want a share of the money?"
Su Shien was speechless. It turned out that he was just a passing god of wealth, working for nothing. Alas, who made her spoil him?
Reaching out to scratch his little nose, he said helplessly, "Don't be depressed, they are all yours, no one is competing with you for them. You want to draw a picture book, don't you? I'll help you draw it."
Han Zeyu was shocked. Is his husband so talented?
But come to think of it, wasn't this guy once known for his love for romance and poetry? It's only natural that he could draw.
"Yeah~ I suddenly found myself loving you even more. Maybe I was just obsessed with your looks before, but now I love your talent and soul even more."
Su Shien nodded slightly heavily. Okay, even though you're illiterate, you've put a lot of thought into coming up with so many words to express your superficial love.
Rare, rare.
Han Zeyu, who is the best husband in the world, is no longer sad. He is about to grab a place in the field of erotic paintings. Why should he be sad?
He had heard from Lin Jing that it was too greedy and outrageous to sell such a 20-page tael of silver for just two taels of silver!
The harmony of yin and yang and reproduction are important matters in life. How can the threshold be set so high?
When he joins the game, he will lower the price to benefit men and women and save all living beings.
As soon as Su Shien saw his passionate look, he knew that this man had been resurrected.
"Let's go and wait for Tiezhu outside."
Han Zeyu was as obedient as a little wife. She bumped her husband with her shoulder and then hooked his finger.
Since his hand was caught, he just put his dirty hand into Su Shien's palm and tickled it gently.
Oh my~ We are an old couple, so embarrassing, hehehe~
Su Shien watched him entertaining himself there and making himself very happy. He really didn't have any temper at all.
Tiezhu had not returned yet, so the two of them walked along the roadside and observed the situation around them.
Han Zeyu quickly climbed up the big tree, stood at the height and looked down. He found that the farm was some distance away from the main road, but closer to the river, so it was a good place for breeding.
I turned my head again and found that my small village was just a little further down the road, and I didn't know if the section in the middle was unowned land.
Tiezhu came back to pick up the two and told them about the situation at the yamen. The family of three became completely obedient when they arrived at the yamen. They were scared like quails and confessed everything on their own without the lawyer even questioning them.
The most bizarre thing was the big idiot in his family. He was afraid of being beaten, so he told the story of how he teased Yang Wan and was later kicked out of the village.
His parents were so angry that they wanted to cover his mouth, but they didn't dare to move at all because they were in the county government office.
The lawyer was an old hand. When he saw their situation, he recorded their confessions directly and asked them what they had done at Su Xiucai's farm.
It would have been better if we hadn't asked about it. After a detailed investigation, we found out that this family was cunning and deceived the officials, and actually evaded paying a lot of grain taxes.
This time it's not just a matter of being imprisoned for a few days. Since they have no money, no house, and no land, it means that this family will not be able to fill the gap in grain taxes in the short term.
After much deliberation, I decided to wait for the victim to arrive tomorrow before making a verdict. I guess the sentence won't be light.
The next day, Su Shien and Han Zeyu went to the county government office. The county magistrate specially held the inner court for a closed trial of the case.
Tax evasion, trespassing, provoking trouble, murder with intent to steal, molesting decent girls, and oh, there's also a little brother.
The charges were numerous enough, so the county magistrate asked for the opinions of the victims involved and discussed with the legal advisor before deciding to sentence the three defendants to 20 strokes of the cane, three years of hard labor, and to pay the outstanding grain taxes.
As for the compensation for Su Xiucai and his wife...
Oh, this is not easy! This family is too poor. They have hands and feet, but they don't do anything productive. They rely on others when they can, and give up when they can't. They don't have any property that can be executed.
Su Shien knew the county magistrate's difficulties, so he asked if he could be given a piece of land. He wanted to connect the two villages and open a breeding farm.
If the refugees yesterday really had nowhere to go, they could also hire these people to farm for their families.
The county magistrate did not expect such a good thing to happen. Are Mr. Su and his wife here to serve as timely rain?
Zhu Danian was in charge of the land division and population resettlement. He asked him to check whether the wasteland on that section of road had any owner. If not, he should sell it to these two people as soon as possible.
Zhu Danian understood his master's little thoughts, which were to find ways to ease the tense financial situation.
This county magistrate has not made many mistakes and has not achieved many political achievements. He has been in this position for six years and will have to continue in the next three years.
He felt that there was little hope for any opportunity for transfer or promotion in the future.
After checking the county annals and maps, I found that there are quite a lot of wastelands there, which are basically unowned land.
The price of wasteland is cheap. If Han Zeyu wants to buy that piece of land, he only needs two hundred and sixty taels, which is cheaper than the land he bought at the ferry head.
The wasteland needs people to reclaim and weed, and grain tax must be paid from the second year after planting crops. The government is happy to see this happen and is eager to sell all the vacant land.
Han Zeyu was also very satisfied. What was so much trouble about turning the soil and weeding? It was just an appetizer.
He has moved one step closer to his dream of becoming a big landowner, which is truly cause for celebration.
